Re: [FWDLK] Throttle Body Injection

[Jack Johnson <johnaire@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

   I think you are talking about RANCE FUEL INJECTION SERVICE in Genesee,
Pa.  (It is next to New York).
I know Rance and he lives about 45 minutes from me here in Shinglehouse, Pa.
His web site is:  www.rancefi.com
Email is: info@xxxxxxxxxxx
Ph: 814-228-3800
Address:  Rance H Baxter
                230 Mountain View Road
                Genesee, Pa  16923
He put EFI on a 54 or 55 Studebaker with a Hemi in it and with the tubbed
wheels in the back and all, it goes quite well and is fuel efficient.  The
man that has the Stude reuilt my 1955 Plymouth 6 cylinder engine a few years
ago.
